Rote Maaß, Stone circle in Damp, Germany.
The Rote Maaß stone circle spans 10 meters in diameter and contains nine granite boulders arranged with rectangular stone settings aligned to cardinal directions.
The ritual site, discovered in 1964 within a forest clearing, dates back to the post-Christian Iron Age between the 2nd and 4th centuries CE.
The stone formation served as a gathering place for ancient communities, with multiple stone-lined pathways and threshold stones indicating organized ceremonial activities.
